Over the weekend, I started on the CCPM setup. First, I bound the Rx to my DX7. I had already set up a new model in the DX7 and set up all of the defaults. I then connected all of the servos to the Rx and started testing for proper movements and for servo horn 90 degree positon.

I first found that I had to reverse channel six to get the left front (pitch) servo working properly. At first, I thought that I had to adjust the swash menu, but it turned out that the servo just needed to be reversed. Once I did that, then all of the motions were correct. I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I got the "Finless-approved" swash setting tool from Fireup over at HeliFreak. I started by leveling the swash to the tool and then started working my way up. Tonight, I'll continue to work up from the swash until I get to the blades. Then, it will be time to put the blades on and install my pitch gauge!

More pix tomorrow!
